Dave’s folks celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. We are so grateful for their legacy of love as well for the amazing adventure they took us on in celebration.

the tour guide really appreciated my attentiveness

We saw ALOT of totem poles. They all look the same to me. No offense.

I had high tea with my grandma at the Empress Hotel when I was a little girl. And now…

Butchart Gardens’ Sunken Garden. It was once a quarry. This is what happened when the owner’s wife meddled in his business.

A dream is a wish your heart makes.

Character appearances were a daily occurrence. When you have to wait in line to talk to them it’s one thing. When Donald Duck gets on the elevator with you, it gets personal.

Not your typical day-at-sea aboard a cruise. Loved that we were in view of land the entire cruise.

Here’s looking at you mom!

Beauty in the eye of the beholder.

When scenic beauty ceases to amaze, you bust out the princess dolls.
![wpid2854-DSC6745 Days in My Life Travel](https://www.amymurgatroyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/wpid2854-DSC6745.jpg)
My beauties never cease to amaze me.

There was a Frozen party aboard the Disney cruise that night. Fitting.

She took 200+ photos with that camera then left it on the plane home. Not sure who was more sad.
![wpid2936-DSC6827 Days in My Life Travel](https://www.amymurgatroyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/wpid2936-DSC6827.jpg)
I love her expression. She’s looking at a Dall Sheep up on the mountain!

A little play with my LensBaby Sweet 35.
![wpid2940-DSC6906 Days in My Life Travel](https://www.amymurgatroyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/wpid2940-DSC6906.jpg)
I love this art lens but it’s an acquired taste for many.

This ship runs on wishes, dreams and a little bit of pixie dust.

The Carcross Desert in the middle of the mountains. I could have stayed here all day. It was surreal.
![wpid2878-DSC7046 Days in My Life Travel](https://www.amymurgatroyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/wpid2878-DSC7046.jpg)
There are some scenes that a camera just doesn’t do justice.
![wpid2880-DSC7056 Days in My Life Travel](https://www.amymurgatroyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/wpid2880-DSC7056.jpg)
There’s gold in them thar’ hills!!!

Dave was convinced he had panned a fleck of gold. Brenna dropped it right after this shot. Surely you see it.

Finger play with grandma on a bus in Juneau. I love that little hand.

The Meddenhall Glacier in Juneau. It extended out to the waterfall on the right in the 1970s! Yikes! Dave and his dad hiked five hours to touch it. The ladies took a bus and were very happy with this view.

Sadly, the only bear sighting we had. We saw a bald eagle, dolphins, seals, and lots of whales though!

This was taken at 9pm at night. The sun sets REALLY late in Alaska. Try convincing your kids they should really go to bed aboard a Disney cruise.

Well, if you say so.

Cora enjoying the ‘Treetop Adventure’ at the park.
Wow! These are amazing Amy. You have really stirred up my wanderlust.
Thanks friend! Can’t wait to see your photos from MI! Have a great trip.
